“The Night is hot as Hell.” With these six scrappy words, comics wunderkind Frank Miller ushered in a scrappy new hero in a scrappy new series with a scrappy young publishing company, breaking all the conventional rules and in the process revolutionizing the world of so-called funnybooks. In 1991, when Miller introduced Sin City in the comic book pages of Dark Horse Presents, he brought crime fiction back to an industry dominated for decades by superheroes, and his groundbreaking brand of neo-noir, complete with bad guys, badder girls, and the baddest cars, hit like a bulldozer, changing the course for generations of cartoonists, authors, and filmmakers to come — and, most importantly, for the millions of readers who braved the boundaries of Basin City and never once looked back.
In the years since, Sin City has spawned a total of seven graphic novels, all written and drawn by Frank Miller himself, winning every conceivable industry award along the way and resulting in two sensational movies, co-directed by Miller with Robert Rodriguez. All seven Sin City yarns are collected here, in this one monster volume, suitable for home defense — over 1300 big damn pages of unmatched intensity in which no corner of Basin City is left unturned and no bloody deed is left undone.
With larger-than-life tales of Marv's hard goodbye, Dwight's deadly dame to kill for, and Hartigan's brawl with that yellow bastard, among others, Frank Miller's Sin City books make up the biggest, baddest crime saga in comics history, and Big Damn Sin City is the perfect way to jump right into the whole darn shootin' match!
